Today's Project: A Nail Art Recreation- Holdiay Edition

Hey everyone! So today I wanted to do a holiday nail for Christmas being tomorrow. Looking through images online I found a few that I really liked but this one really stood out to me. I decided to recreate this nail art. I was never really good at "art" and "creativity". Turns out, I'm still not. Anyway my version came out a little "messy" but you can still tell my interpretation of the design. Anyway I thought I'd show you the original I tried to recreate. Disclaimer: This is not my image. I just tried to recreate this design.

Of course, the most trouble I had were the leaves. Anyway, I just wanted to show you my holiday manicure for Christmas this year. Let me know if you'd like to see a nail art design for New Year's. Comment below about what your fabulous five fingers will being wearing to Christmas dinner. Thanks guys and gals!

Love yall!

Happy Holidays from Fashionfanatic77

Blue & Gold Eye Shadow Blogtorial

Blue and Gold Eye shadow Blogtorial

What you’ll need:

Products:

Eyelid Primer/ Cream Eye shadow

Brownish-Gold Shadow

Yellow-Gold Shadow

Navy Blue or Dark Blue Shadow

Highlight Shadow or Pigment

Mascara

Brushes:

Flat-shader brush

Domed-crease brush

Fluffy blending brush

Optional:

Eyeliner

Lip gloss or Lipstick

1)      Start off by priming both of your eyes with an eye primer or cream shadow. Make sure to prime the eyelid all the way up to the brow. Since I don’t own a primer, I used a white cream shadow. I found it really made the colors pop.

2)      Taking the brownish-gold color, using a flat-shader brush, lightly pat the shadow onto your lid.

3)      Next, take the yellow-gold color. I used the yellow-gold from my Color Me Glow Palette that I got at Walgreens for $.99. I did a haul a while back on it. Take this color on your flat-shader brush and apply it on the lid over the brown-gold color, focusing on the inner 2/3 of the eye lid.

4)      Using your Dark or Navy Blue, use the domes-crease brush to start applying color to your outer crease. Build it up as you go. For the blue, I used Skeletrina by Tokidoki. I got mine for $15 at Sephora. You can get it here: http://www.sephora.com/product/productDetail.jsp?skuId=1217462&productId=P257114&_requestid=141202#!keyword=skeletrina

5)      Finally, apply a highlight color below the brow bone. I used a shimmery white. Next, line your lower lashes with the navy and gold. Taking the navy blue, I line my outer half lower lashes, and with the yellow-gold shadow I lined my inner half lower lashes.

6)      Lastly, apply mascara. Any color could work. I think black would darken the look. You could also you gold, too for extra shimmer. I used navy blue mascara. It gave the look something different than if I would’ve used black.

Optional: Use an eye liner to darken the look or add some shimmer.  You can use just about any color you want. I didn’t use eye liner, but I think a black, gold, or navy liner would look really well.

To Complete the Look:

1)      Use a light pink, natural, or nude lip stick or lip gloss. I think it would be better to use a natural lip instead of a bold one, because a bold lip will draw away attention from the eyes. I think something with a gold undertone would look really nice. I used a lip gloss to complete my look. It’s a Liplicious from Bath and Body Works, in the flavor Sparking Plum. This color is basically a reddish-purple plum color and it tastes just like a plum, to me. My only problem with this lip gloss is that I can’t keep it on. I end up eating the lip gloss off my lips before I get out the door.

2)      Use a light blush or bronzer. I find that the blue and gold reminds me of a sailor look. You can use the bronzer to get that tan sailor look, if that’s what you’re going for.

I hope yall really enjoyed this “blogtorial”. I just made that word up, but I think that’s what I’ll call them from now on. I really worked hard on this tutorial so leave comments below, and let me know what you think. Keep your eyes open for more upcoming “Blogtorials”.  Any request?

Outfit of the Day- July 13

Hi! Today is Friday the 13th! I'm not that superstitious, but it gives me a reason to stay in bed all bed! I actually didn't sleep all day though. I went shopping and got a few things.

First, I'm going to give you a little outfit of the day (OOTD).

My top is actually from JCPenny (where most of my clothes are bought). I love that store! This top is a lace tank. They came in a few different colors, but I got white because I thought it would match with more of my colored shorts. Basically, the tank has a piece of lace sewn on top and the lace makes a pretty flowery design. Also there is a gold zipper half way down the back, but it's mostly for looks because the shirt is kind of flowing, so there's no need to unzip it. The only bad things about this top is that is sticks to everthing and the lace gets caught in the other clothings while in the washing machine and dryer, so it has to be washed seperately. :(

For my shorts, I picked out my black snake skin shorts by A.N.A. Again, I got them at JCPenny. They had the tan snake skin shorts, but I liked the black better. What I really like about these is that it's not like a floral short or stipped short. You can pass these shorts as a patterned short or a solid, therfore you can put this with just about any shirt. The material of these are really soft and streches as you wear them. They kind of stick to you throughout the day. You don't have to worry about itchy seams or things like that. These shorts

are really comfortable and one of my new favorties.

 Lastly, for my shoes I wore these sandals by L.E.I. that I actually got from Walmart for $25 for Easter. Usually I don't get clothes or shoes at Walmart, but these sandals really caught my eye. They have a lot of gold tones, so I really enjoy matching them with different things. They also have a tiny wedge in the back of them that I find is to high for that shoe because when I wear them, the hell twist and I hurt my foot several times throughout the day while wearing them. I don't wear these too often because the jewels on the sandals rub on the top on my feet and scratch me. I'm very particular about shoes!

That's was my OOTD for today. The first store we actually went to was Hobby Lobby. I wanted a new bracelet and while looking around, by the checkout, I found this very unique selections of jewelry. I saw a few bracelets that I liked, but I fell in love with this one.

It actually looks different is the lightings on camera, but it's real color is like the last picture. I really think this is unique. I love the rose and the leaf shaped charms. ( I have a thing for roses!) I have to say that this bracelet is personalized for me even though it was bought that way beacause of the topaz jewel. It's my birthstone! As you can see, the chains are different color metals. I think this a really fun piece and very modern yet traditional and old-fashioned. I also believe this will go with many outfits. All in all, this bracelet was $5.99 and I really love it!

That's about it! Sorry, today was a really long post, but I just wanted to try something different, so please comment and subscribe and have a safe weekend. Bye!

Love yall!
